Falwell weighs in on Foley. Not!
Instead of a screed denouncing the puke pedophile-of-the-month, the good reverend jerry calls for a boycott of Citgo, because chavez called chimpy "the devil"... I may go a few miles out of my way to buy citgo now...

Shunning Citgo

After Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez stood at the United Nations podium and called President Bush “the devil,” I determined that I would never purchase Citgo gas again.


Why? Because the refining company is wholly owned by Venezuela’s state-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela. Whenever Americans purchase gasoline at Citgo stations, portions of that purchase return to enable Chavez, a man who has vowed to take down the American government.


I am not willing to purchase gasoline — no matter how cheaply it may be being sold — from a company that is owned by a nation whose thuggish leader sneered at and mocked our president (while on U.S. soil, no less).


I was pleased to see that 7-Eleven recently decided to discontinue its association with Citgo at its 2,100 convenience stores. However, a reported 12,000 Citgo stations continue to operate nationwide.

Others are beginning to get sick of Chavez, as well.


After Chavez’ UN tirade, Gov. George Pataki (R-N.Y.) said, “This person has no right coming to our country to criticize our president.” Gov. Pataki said he would no longer buy Citgo gas.


The news in Venezuela is even more distressing when one considers that Hugo Chavez, who says America is preparing to attack his nation, is leading an arms buildup in the nation.


Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said earlier this week that neighboring countries are concerned by the buildup.

“I can understand neighbors being concerned,” said Mr. Rumsfeld.

I believe it’s time Americans do their part to cut off as much money as possible to Hugo Chavez and his regime. (Sadly, there are efforts by leftist groups urging their supporters to go out and purchase Citgo products.)

We need to show this crazed dictator that the American people will not tolerate his type of dangerous activities. The best way to accomplish this is to immediately discontinue purchasing Citgo gas.

I am urging the hundreds of thousands of subscribers to Falwell Confidential to join with me, and a growing number of Americans, in determining not to purchase Citgo

1. good luck with that
:rofl:

you never know where the gas came from that you are buying. These companies sell inventory to each other all the time. You could fill up at Shell, and still be buying Citgo gas.
